Abstract
This necessity to improve the shortcomings of both the traditional project management and the pure Agile strategies has resulted in the formation of hybrid Agile approaches. The research paper presents an empirical review of the literature on hybrid models in global and regional contexts, aiming to determine the impact of hybrid models on project delivery and stakeholder satisfaction in dynamic environments. Based on surveys, case studies, and systematic reviews completed between 2020 and 2025, the analysis shows that generic drivers of adoption include regulatory compliance and pressure from stakeholders, as well as the need for flexibility in complex projects. The implementation strategies are characterized by a variety of integrations, i.e., Scrum with Waterfall, Stage-Gate, PRINCE2, and some organized frameworks. Empirical results indicate the improvement of delivery performance with a strong emphasis on the decrease of time-to-market and the quality of delivery, and the constant feedback loops enhance stakeholder satisfaction. However, they remain the same, such as cultural resistance, lack of resources, and the intricacy of integration. The paper concludes that the hybrid Agile approach is beneficial in terms of contextual adaptation; however, the model's performance is industry- and region-specific. Capacity building, engagement of stakeholders, and situational specificity form the basis of the recommendations to deliver the best results.
